July!!

Yikes!! It is already July!! My mom has always said that once 4th of July is over, school is right around the corner...now every time I go into a store I am bombarded with school stuff!! I have a little guy who can not wait for school to begin...the teacher in me is excited for him, but the mommy in me wants to cherish this time a little longer.

We sure have had fun this summer, though! With swimming, rollerblading, biking, sandbox time, parks, zoos, cousins, friends, t-ball, ice skating...we have stayed pretty active.

Here is our Top Ten List since my last post:

10. All the boys love the water, so our daily trips to our neighborhood pool have been really fun. Our daycare friends join us on most days, which is very entertaining for all ;)

9. Graham works and studies...

8. We have been to both the Como Zoo and the Minnesota Zoo a few times this summer, and we even enjoyed the new Dinosaur exhibit! Sean can't wait to go back, so we will heading back that way very soon.

7. We have a lot of nice parks around our area that are in walking distance, so that has been a fun morning routine, too! My goal each day is to wear those babies out! Some days it works, some days it doesn't.

6. Tee Ball has been really fun this year. The Shakopee Community Center runs a really great sports program for kids. It is so organized and fun! I have been extremely impressed with everything Sean has been able to do through their programs! We are anxiously awaiting the new registration book, as a certain someone wants to play HOCKEY!! Yikes! We will see how that goes...but I think it is in his blood ;)

5. When checking on quiet twins at bedtime, Isaac is found on top of his dresser!!! Needless to say, we did some rearranging that night and now they only have their beds in their room. My parents laugh at us, since they can vividly remember me doing the same thing...saying "payback" as they laugh out loud :)

4. I got to go to the concert of the summer with Mandy and my sisters!!! It was awesome, and such a great night out with the girls!

3. Isaac and Andrew are very good at climbing at parks now...almost too good! They like to get as high as they can, then head down the slides as fast as they can! I might be the one getting the worn out!

2. Nana and Papa's pool is a blast! The babes wear life jackets and swim from one end to the other, all the while Sean is diving for rings in the deep end...growing up!!

1. Graham is taking his big 8 hour test today...I know he will rock it!! (Can you imagine a test that long! Yikes!!)
